Fabric and bridal shapewear

If you have in your dreams a ballgown wedding dress you can skip the undergarments and wear whatever underwear you like. This type of gowns are made of heavier silks and textured fabrics that add structure and often they also have built-in corset for extra support. Simple cotton is a good choice or find more inspiration in our magic wedding lingerie top tips.
